186: Chapter 66 Conflicts between mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law have existed since ancient times

After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Meng Li briefly recounted the love-hate relationship between Wang Chongyang and Lin Chaoying.

Guo Jing, Huang Rong, and the others were greatly amazed, their faces filled with the expression of someone who had just heard some major gossip.

Once the story was finished, Huang Rong couldn't help but say indignantly, "This Wang Chongyang is just a block of wood, wasting Lin Chaoying's devoted heart."

Hearing this, Guo Jing said, "Ronger, I don't think The Real Person of Chongyang was wrong. If the Xiongnu are not yet destroyed, how can one make a home?"

Huang Rong turned her head and said gloomily, "Then you also plan not to get married until the Jin Kingdom is destroyed?"

Guo Jing scratched his head. Thinking of his situation with Hua Zheng, he had a sudden flash of inspiration, feeling this was a good idea that could be used to postpone the marriage contract.

That way, he could continue to be with Huang Rong.

Thus, he nodded and said, "That's right."

Huang Rong's expression stiffened.

Mu Nianci was surprised.

Meng Li was stunned.

Lu Chengfeng looked at Huang Rong and Guo Jing, his eyes filled with thought.

After a moment, Huang Rong said crossly, "Then you can live alone for the rest of your life!"

Having spoken in anger, she immediately got up and left.

Seeing this, Guo Jing hurried to chase after her.

Meng Li and Mu Nianci glanced at each other, not paying it much mind. They greeted Lu Chengfeng and left the scene together.

After leaving the hall, the two walked hand in hand through Guiyun Village. They encountered Silly Aunt and stayed to play games with her.

By the time they were done playing, Guo Jing and Huang Rong had finally reconciled.

At this moment, a servant suddenly came to report that someone had come looking for Guo Jing.

When Guo Jing went to the front hall to look, he found that the visitors were the Jiangnan Six Monsters and was instantly overjoyed.

"Master!" he called out, hurrying forward to pay his respects.

Huang Rong, who was trailing behind, let out a sigh and muttered softly, "Why is it those ugly monsters again?"

Seeing this, Mu Nianci wanted to say something, but Meng Li squeezed her hand, stopping her just in time.

Then, he whispered in her ear, "Since ancient times, mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law have often been at odds. It's best to let Guo Jing resolve this matter himself."

Mu Nianci's expression was strange, but after thinking about it, it really was like that.

Huang Rong had no real grudge against the Jiangnan Six Monsters; they just didn't see eye to eye, partly due to their different styles of doing things, but mostly because of Guo Jing.

This relationship was indeed somewhat similar to the discord between a mother-in-law and a daughter-in-law over a son or husband.

Thinking of this, she gave up the idea of intervening and instead felt a bit worried about how she would get along with her future mother-in-law.

Meng Li saw this and smiled comfortingly, "Don't worry, you are so good, my mother will definitely like you. Even if there's a conflict, you still have me."

Only then did Mu Nianci feel at ease.

At this time, Guo Jing stopped the bickering between the Jiangnan Six Monsters and Huang Rong, asking about the reason for their visit: "Master, why have you come to Guiyun Village?"

Ke Zhene said, "We encountered Hua Zheng, and she asked us to find you."

Guo Jing's face immediately showed pleasant surprise: "Hua Zheng is still alive? That's wonderful!"

Ke Zhene nodded.

Zhu Cong then asked, "Jinger, from what you're saying, you thought Hua Zheng was dead?"

Guo Jing nodded, "A while ago, I received a letter from Hua Zheng via the Great White Condor, learning that she had come to the Central Plains and encountered danger. I rushed to save her, but halfway there, I received a letter from Tolui saying that Hua Zheng was already dead."

"I was sad about it for a long time. To comfort me, Ronger took me around to clear my head. We happened to come to Guiyun Village and met Elder Brother Meng and Sister Nianci."

As he finished speaking, Meng Li and Mu Nianci arrived and greeted the Jiangnan Six Monsters.

Then, Guo Jing asked the Jiangnan Six Monsters, "Master, where did you meet Hua Zheng? How is she now?"

Zhu Cong replied, "We met Hua Zheng near Yanjing..."

It turned out that after Qiu Chuji admitted defeat and they helped Yang Tiexin in the tavern, the Jiangnan Six Monsters bid farewell to Meng Li and the others the next day to continue their heroic deeds. A while ago, they heard that Wanyan Honglie had been assassinated and died, so they wanted to go to Yanjing to investigate. By chance, they encountered Hua Zheng being pursued by Jin soldiers.

The Six Monsters were acquainted with Hua Zheng, so naturally, they wouldn't stand by and watch her die.

After saving Hua Zheng, they learned that Tolui had come to the Jin Kingdom to urge them to surrender, but Wanyan Hongxi refused.

A conflict broke out between the two sides, and Tolui was captured. He later managed to escape but was pursued by Jin soldiers.

Hua Zheng, who arrived a step late, wanted to save him, but she was outnumbered. Instead, she became separated from Tolui during the escape.

Left alone and with no one to turn to, Hua Zheng could only ask the Jiangnan Six Monsters to help her find Guo Jing.

The Six Monsters didn't refuse. After settling Hua Zheng, they came to find Guo Jing. After much inquiry, they finally found Guiyun Village.

Having understood the situation, Guo Jing immediately asked, "So where is Hua Zheng now?"

Hearing this, Huang Rong immediately knew he wanted to go find Hua Zheng and couldn't help but feel sour, "It's almost dark. Are you planning to travel through the night?"

Guo Jing's expression froze.

Lu Chengfeng saw this and smiled as he smoothed things over, "It's getting late. Why don't you all rest at the village for the night? We can talk about what follows tomorrow, how about it?"

Zhu Cong immediately took the opportunity to step down, "Then we thank Manor Lord Lu."

The other five monsters followed with their thanks.

Lu Chengfeng responded politely and then had people arrange guest rooms and prepare dinner.

When the lights were first lit and everyone had finished dinner, they dispersed.

Meng Li and Mu Nianci walked hand in hand in the garden, chatting as they walked, and eventually, the conversation turned to Guo Jing's situation.

Mu Nianci said, "Brother Jing likes Ronger in his heart, but he has a marriage contract with Hua Zheng. It must be very difficult for him."

Meng Li nodded and then said, "So, I feel I am luckier than Guo Jing."

"Why do you say that?" Mu Nianci was puzzled.

Meng Li looked into her eyes and smiled, "Because the one I like in my heart is you, and the one I have a marriage contract with is also you. I don't have to be torn."

A smile instantly appeared in Mu Nianci's eyes, and she then asked, "What if you were Brother Jing? What would you do?"

Meng Li's eyelid twitched, and he said without thinking, "There are no 'ifs' in such matters."

Mu Nianci gave him a reproachful look but didn't dwell on the topic.

Just as Meng Li was about to change the subject, the sound of fighting and screams suddenly came from ahead.

Meng Li and Mu Nianci exchanged a glance and went together to check the situation.

When they arrived at the scene, they found several bodies of Guiyun Village servants on the ground. The Jiangnan Six Monsters, Guo Jing, Huang Rong, and Lu Chengfeng and his son were all there, confronting a woman.

Meng Li looked closely; the woman was none other than Mei Chaofeng.

As soon as he and Mu Nianci arrived, Mei Chaofeng sensed them. She sneered, "Another helper has arrived. I wonder who it is?"

"One?"

Guo Jing and the others were stunned, and they all looked sideways at Meng Li and Mu Nianci at the same time.

Clearly, two people had arrived!

In an instant, they realized that Mei Chaofeng couldn't see and had made her judgment based on the sound of footsteps.

Just now, there really did seem to be only one person's footsteps.

At this moment, Meng Li spoke, "Mei Chaofeng, long time no see."

Mei Chaofeng was instantly startled and said subconsciously, "Mr. Meng?"

As soon as this title was uttered, everyone else looked toward Meng Li.

"Elder Brother Meng, you and Mei Chaofeng know each other?" Guo Jing asked.

Meng Li said frankly, "I happened to meet her once while traveling in the Great Desert and made a deal with her."

Hearing Guo Jing call Meng Li "Elder Brother," Mei Chaofeng's expression immediately changed.

She had come here for revenge, with Guo Jing being the primary target.

If Meng Li stepped in to protect Guo Jing, she would have no chance of winning at all.

Just then, another unexpected event occurred.

Meng Li turned his head toward another direction and said loudly, "Since Your Excellency has come, why hide your head and show your tail?"
